"Oh dear, Mom is doing this for you. According to you, Nan Nan is an utterly wicked villain. Your mom is dancing with wolves."
Yukiko shrugged, giving him a look that suggested she was doing it for his own good.
"To put on a good show, you definitely need the cooperation of supporting actors. When you call Nan Nan 'Dad,' you're putting him on guard, and it'll make it easier for Mom to gather clues for you, right? Of course, if you don't want to, that's fine too~"
As she spoke, she pretended to turn and leave, muttering, "Mommy's going to find Nan Nan to watch a movie~"
"Wait!" Conan grabbed her arm, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "...Let's wait until we find something on him!"
"Deal~" Yukiko smiled like a cat that had just stolen some cream.
Acting is acting, but that doesn't mean you can't take things too seriously.
Moreover, with her son's words, if things were to come to light later, she'd have something to say: "You're the one who delivered your own mother into Yuzuru Nan's arms, so don't blame anyone else. Call me Dad!"
Hey, I'm such a genius!
She became happier and happier as she thought about it, and she almost felt like she was floating when she walked.
Conan watched his mother's cheerful departure, feeling that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He could only comfort himself: "Mom may love to have fun, but she's reliable when it counts... right?"
Little did anyone know, as soon as Yukiko returned to the front row, she immediately leaned close to Hanyu Nanami's ear and said, "You naughty little brother~ guess what Shinichi just said to me?"
Yuzuru raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"
"He made me go undercover to gather evidence against you~" Yukiko couldn't help but giggle, leaning openly against Nanami Hanyu, laughing so hard she almost fell over. "Do you think I should tell him that you've already 'turned' his mother?"
Ai, who was sitting to the side, heard everything clearly and silently lit a candle for Conan.
Yuzuru's lips curled up slightly, and he casually put his arm around Yukiko's slender waist, gently pulling her closer and whispering in her ear, "Does my dear sister want to play a spy game?"
“Yeah, right!” Yukiko’s eyes sparkled. “How exciting!”
"Then..." Yuzuru Nan said with a wicked smile, "How about we send Conan some false information?"
Yukiko immediately understood and took out her phone to start composing a text message: [Shinichi! I've found a crucial clue! Hanyu Nanasu is going to the Beika Hotel tonight to meet a mysterious person! Come quickly!]
After sending the message, she proudly waved her phone and happily said, "There's going to be a good show tonight!"
Ai couldn't stand it anymore: "Don't you feel any remorse for bullying your son like this?"
“No way!” Yukiko said matter-of-factly, “It’s because he refuses to call Nan Nan ‘Dad’!”
She crossed her arms over her chest, looking completely at ease.
Ai: "......"
She suddenly felt a little sorry for that pretentious detective.
My perfectly good plan was completely betrayed by my mom before it even started.
This is truly a classic case of "losing both mother and army".
No, she can't stand watching anymore. She has to have two more vials of Conan's blood drawn for school tomorrow.
Ai is afraid that her little lab rat will be played to death sooner or later.
Therefore, it's best to keep extra experimental samples in advance, just in case.
They have some conscience, but not much.
Not far away, Conan was staring blankly at the message his mother had sent him on his phone.
So fast? Is Mom really that efficient?
We just sent her out as a spy, and she's already gathered clues so quickly? Isn't that a bit too efficient?
The height was so high that it felt unreal to him.
He frowned, looking at the text message repeatedly, trying to find some flaws between the lines, but he felt that his mother's tone and word choice were no different from usual.
...
That evening, at the Mihua Hotel.
Conan hid behind a flower bed, his eyes fixed on the hotel entrance, while Heiji Hattori squatted beside him, equally focused.
"Are you sure the information is reliable?" Hattori Heiji asked in a low voice.
"My mom told me herself!" Conan declared confidently, "Hanyu Nan is going to conduct an illegal transaction here tonight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a stretch Lincoln slowly pulled up in front of the hotel. The door opened, and Yuzuru Hanyu, arm in arm with Yukiko, who was dressed in a formal gown, stepped out of the car and walked straight into the hotel lobby.
"This...this is an illegal transaction?" Hattori Heiji was completely bewildered.
Conan was dumbfounded: "Wait a minute, Mom said..."
Just then, his phone rang.
Yukiko sent me a text message: [Oh dear, I forgot to tell you~ Today is Mom's comeback party! Thanks for reminding me, I almost forgot to bring Nana along~]
The letter also included a photograph showing Yukiko walking among a crowd in a luxurious hotel venue, with people dressed in glamorous gowns, raising their glasses and laughing.
Conan: "..."
Hattori Heiji patted him on the shoulder sympathetically: "Kudo, are you sure there's really nothing wrong with your mom's information?"
Conan: "..."
Don't ask him, he doesn't know either.
With his mother's quirky personality, sometimes he couldn't tell which words were true and which were false.
The only thing that could give him some peace of mind was that his mother wouldn't harm him, would she? He was his mother's only biological son!
Late at night, in the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel.
Having just returned to the financial world and basked in the praise of her peers, Yukiko was in an exceptionally high mood. Leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, she looked at the two tiny black dots below and laughed heartily, "Shinichi must be furious!"
Yuzuru wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder: "Did you have fun, dear sister?"
"I'm so happy~" Yukiko turned around and hugged his neck, "But..."
"Um?"
"I want to hear Shinichi call you Dad~" Yukiko pouted, "When will that ever happen!"
Yuzuru chuckled softly, then suddenly picked her up and headed towards the bedroom: "Then we'll see how my older sister performs. But before that, I'd rather hear her call me 'Daddy'..."
"Hey! You naughty little brother!"
"Tonight, I'll show my dear sister what real 'illegal transactions' really mean..."
"I...I refuse the deal..."
"That's not up to my dear older sister anymore~"
"Hmph! Yu Xiaonan, aren't you feeling quite smug?"
"Of course, Mother..."
As night deepened, the lights of the Beika Hotel shone brightly against the Tokyo night sky.
Meanwhile, by the flowerbed outside the hotel, two poor detectives shivered in the cold wind, waiting for an "illegal transaction" that would never happen...
The two people upstairs changed their identities very quickly.
Yesterday they were mother and son, today they are father and daughter.
When it comes to role-playing, Yukiko has always been very confident, saying that if she says she's number one, who dares to say she's number two?
